Urban Winemaking Experience

Cima Collina Winery & Barrel Room, Marina

The Cima Collina Winery & Barrel Room is conveniently located near the Pacific Coast Highway in Marina, the gateway to the Monterey Peninsula, and an ideal stop for groups visiting from San Francisco or the Central Valley.

As the hub of Cima Collina wine production for the past 11 years, Cima Collina Winemaker Annette Hoff and her team crush, press and age an average of 40 tons of grapes annually on site, with over 140 French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks lining the walls. Guests will be guided throughout the winemaking process while tasting a selection of Cima Collina artisan wines, including small lot barrel tastings and stainless steel tank samples. Learn how Cima Collina’s strong commitment to nurture aging wines on a barrel-to-barrel basis ensures quality wines with each vintage.
